In your first appointment, we will go over your current symptoms, past psychiatric history, medical history, substance use history, social history, and your goal for treatment. We will discuss your preliminary diagnoses and appropriate pharmacological interventions.

Absolutely. Over the years, I’ve had patients bring their partner, parent, adult children, sibling, or a trusted therapist to not only their initial consultation but to subsequent appointments as well. I understand that you may be nervous meeting me for the first time. Often our loved ones can offer invaluable insights from what they observe – of course I am interested in hearing their perspective so I can get to know you better.

At the regular level of service, I can reach out to your current therapist to inquire additional history they may want to share (this is not obligatory) and encourage future lines of communication. At the comprehensive level, I will reach out to your therapist or anyone on your care team on a regular basis including but not limited to after every appointment.

As a solo psychiatrist, my practice is intentionally small to ensure that I can provide focused care for each of my patients. Because of this, I don’t have the administrative staff required to manage insurance billing. By operating outside of the insurance system, I am able to dedicate more time and energy to your care, rather than paperwork. I am happy to provide detailed receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Unfortunately, not at this time. To maintain the quality and attention my patients deserve, I’ve set my fees to reflect the time and expertise required for treatment. While I don’t offer a sliding scale, I encourage patients facing financial challenges to explore community resources or other providers who may offer flexible payment options.

Payments are accepted through credit card, debit card, Zelle, and Venmo. Payment is due at the time of service.

Our policy requires 2 full days’ notice for changes in appointment status (cancellations, etc.). We do charge the full fee for missed appointments and/or late cancellations.
